Hydrating Play the song it vibrates listen win roots of trees are dirt bound I wave like leaves the birds my alibi sing the sun is warm and feathers are my heart Midnight was so long ago and the color of shadows making corners in open spaces talking of this and that a child hiding under the bed waiting for feet to dangle she threads the sharp hole of her own despair She is no longer there Play that sweet guitar it’s day along the wire where I hold on looking for the rip current of air where I can jump into the drift thermal riding with my hair It’s time to up turn and dig out scratch the shovel take the glen listen wind I am your friend into the day I’ll win the ticket heavy in my hand Don’t tell the goodbye yet I’ll just drink one drop and let it pour from someplace catch and fill of cloud a river is so written with my will I’ll drive it home so that just one tear can fall and gift it to you that is all ---------- RP in memory of Michael August |

Ah Martie, Our friends are gone, but not forgotten. Nicely done and an excellent way to remember.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

It was my loss, to have been his friend without ever knowing him as deeply as you. But we had so little time, and far too much in common, for it to have come to be. Still, I miss him. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Thank you for this Martie~ We shall never forget such a dear man. "Perhaps they are not the stars But rather openings in Heaven Where the love of our lost ones Pours through and shines down upon us To let us know they are happy" -Michael Auguste ~ Time has cast a spell on you, |
